The 'aCtious in the House of li t : 111 1'10ns hated Sir Francis; Burdett. . Aye, they o ' t A hi m as the...wolf did thee shepherd and his dog, I, o t ne kite the keeper and his gun.

There Vs another cause why the Tialents were particular ra' It leensed on this occasion: ; they hoped that Sir ucis Burdett would have fully invested them 1 4 _41 the trappings of Royalty 5 they hoped he would re acknowgtd the van tt.

He It o " t ws upon. the ingir grout.d .of national trecHo.),,- IC 4 Magna Chatta for his gt tine, and transferred oz e i , great question of pZnitilar • right .to the great of pepularliberty— British Jury. Sir F. ti t irdett had indeed aged throui ;bout most constitu -44a11Y. He had 'bast moved_ for the liberation of t r t Jones : he failed :- he then according to a good il e ttell3tom, addressed his constittuents; he told them h ! l ik, and . this, accordi6g -to .ord Mansfield's ex position of the law, was 'the vire •st of libels. He had th ru ggled nobly against the usurpation of a power in (louse of Commons, whictr o • if once established, tk °uld convert that House into ;fan Inquisition, and .t o e Serj ean t a t A rms i n t o a runner, who inight teht)d-off at will, into distant prix ons, the subjects of land. The -question was I tow at issue.

He concluded by !having— Tbat the Petition . now re ad be adoptdd, and th an it be presented' to the Mir se of Commons by our , Representatives, George I 'iyng and William ellish Esqrs.' who are hereby iustru&ed to sup liort the,same.' . tt , That we 'highly approve Gs f the proceedings of Eleetors of Westminster at their late Meetipg, a t 11 , (1 most • heartily concur in t he sentiments con ia.'ned in their letter to Sir Francis Burdett, and is "s 2 nswer. " That .the Thanks of this Me .eting are due, and are 'hereby given to Sir Francis t Burdett, Bart. for ~ts truly patriotic eonduQ :Parliament ; for his 'Nuiv/erect and unanswerable at gujnent in the case 4 , John Gale Jones, vindicating the rights of the " 4 bjecit, and denying the pow, tr of the House of 1.,_ lnrnons to imprison without trial, and, during r easure, the People of England' ; for his Letter to I ,"'e Speaker protesting against the power of the 'louse of Commons to' imprisori in like manner one of their Members, for laying begore his Constituents !faithful account of his conduit in Parliament, ,and his constitutional resistance: to the Speaker's Warrant, whereby he has given a practical illustra -11011 of its inefficiency, and has tihewn that it could not be put in force without milit try aid—a violation our ancient laws, and a breach of the privileges of Englishmen. " That these Resolutions be• fairly transcribed . and presented to Sir Francis Burdett by the Sheriff, a ccompanied by George Byng anti William Mellish, csqrs. our 'Representatives." The following isa sketch of the Petition : That The Petitioners have Observed with con cern, in the cases of - Jahn Gale , Jones and Sir F. ritsrdett, liar! ,0e Hottse had asstitned and exercised S power unknowii to the law, and unwarrarffed by the Constitution ; alleging, that the Speaker's War rant has been executed by Military Force. An Et,ig 7 house, - his Sinctualy,. has been .violated ; and The biood.of nowt:tiding citizens has been shed in • the streets. Against the exercise of this power they solemnly protest ;—a protest - which they allege t- be more necessary, because their votes in its sup pOrtrare entered on the Journals; but not so' the letter of Sir Francis Burdett to the Speaker, denying the House such juiisdidion." It then observes,: that in the early part of this reign, in the case of Mr. Wilkes, the rights of this county, and of the nation, were repeatedly and grossly violated by the,. House of Cot inlins—next proceeding- to observe, that at length the law tri umphed. After a struggle,of nearly 20 'years, the House abandoned the pretensions they had arrogat ed, and expunged from, their,Jourhals all their de- Clarations, orders, and resolutions, as being subver sive of the right of the whOle Body, ot Electors of this kingdoria. Further alleging, that the House of Commons, during. its pleasure, deprived the citi zens of Westminster of their share in the reigre sentatiOn, and the public - at large of the exertions of a faithful servant, in whose ability, firmness, and integrity, they pre-eminently confide. lite Petitioners say, they view with jealousy and suspicion the., shutting :apt of Sir. Francis Burdett in prison, when the attention of the Nation is directed; with anxiety, to his intended-Motion for Reform in Parliament, in that Hen. House--Ithat ,HouSe, in which they assert, ,the traffic in . Seats has been avowedin the cases of the Right Honourable Spen cer Perceval and Lord Castlereagh to be as noto rious as the sun at noon—a practice, at the mention tion of which, in the -emphatic language .of the SrEAKER k " our ancestors' would have started with indignation." They thetefore pray, the Douse of Commons to follow the example of . their predecessors—And to " Expunge all their Declarations, Orders, and Re-. solutions on the subjeCt; as tending to the . -subver sion Of, our Liberties,,aud the introduction of a Mi litary pt-spotism ; and. to,ieCall Sir Francis. Burdett to the service of . the Country in Parliament, that he may there improve that Plan of. Reform which laSt Session he so , powerfully recommended ) and whtch, An the opinion of the Pettlioners, is abNo lt!tely necessary for the- stability and, honour of the Throne, and the safety and well-being of the People." On the question being pui that the above Petition be adopted, Mr.. BENTLEY noticed the unjust, try which , bad gone - forth respec-ling the people's attempting to op pose the execution of the Sneaker's warrant; which cry he d. timed a, foul libel. From the military force assetnbled round the door of the worthy Ba ronet, it might be imagined that the enemy .was on the coast. He had witnessed the Whole of this long reign; and he did not hesitate to declare, that alt our evils arose front one,set of men, and konneotion of, men, from the first introduCtion of Lord Bute instead of Lord Cha.ham—the , tempt or public opinion, evinced as it was by the haughty receptiOn• .of the citizens of London—the same connetiion and political sentiments produced the American war, 'which had laid the toundation of the increase of our national debt, now near 700 millions—the same po litical 4eniitnents produced all our .disgrace down to the FA neditiorllA Walcheren—thP , :nnnOrt at it jA , the ,House nt contrtions—and the sending of Str Francis Burdett to the Tower. IVl2ljOr CARTWRIGHT stated, that he had an ad dress to Sir Fiaocis Burdett to propose for their adopt; , _ ICU': MELLISH attempted to address the Meeting,-' but • the clainonr and disapprobation wa, so great t'at he could not , btain . a hearing, :when Mr. H. TO A'NSEND requested the assembly would . allow Mr. Clifford 'to hear what Mr. Mellish bad to say. Mr. MELLISH again came forward, and observed ; that what he had.to say regarded the latter part of the List resolution. He certainly conceived it his. duty to present the petition, but as -to supporting it, he was assured he should disgrace his Constitu ents if he permitted himself to hazardthe,inde pcndence of his situation.—[Here the marks of dis approbation were so loud, that Mr. M. was obliged to retire.) . The first Resolution was then read, on which Mr. BYNG came forward, and. expressed- his de termination to present the petition, which he re ceived •with great pleasure, and would ever support the principle on which it was founded. The House Was armed witb power, but that power was only to .be exercised for the protection of the people.— The discussion respeding Gale Jones was no injury to the proceedings of the House, nor was. Sir Fiancis Burlett's . Address to his Constituents a libel '; he did not believe the worthy Baronet meant it to'be so. He thought that every Member had a .right to - address his Constituents. He was sorry . his friend (Mr. Hare Townsend) attacked so generally all public men, for he did not believe there ever mwas a time when there was in the House of. Co- mons a greater proportion of public men disposed 'to aa with the people; and if. Parliamen'tary Reform Was not' eifeded, it was the fault of the Public themselves, who did not . properly come forward and demand it. He verily believed, even' the pre sent House , of Commons would agree to a Parlia mentary Reform. Ler the friends of Liberty be united, for iis.enernies were alWays so. Mr. CLIFFORD thought,. that of the many argu ments advanced by . Mr. Byng, the last was the strongest; still, he thought it odd that the supineness of Parliament should be excused by attributing it to the fault 'of the people, when the only two cases .where the people did come forward, the come .quence was, that in one case an individual was sent to Newgate ; and in the other, a Representative was sent to the Tower. Thus the servants of the pub lic undertook at their pleasure to imprison their masters ! The House of Commons.never had, , and never ought to hate any power. Privilege they had, but the difference was great between privilege and .power. He maintained, that the House of Com _mons was only one branch of the Legislature— the King was another. When his' Majesty was insulted, and even assaulted personally in his 'way. 'to the House ,of / Lords, to meet the other • two ,branches of the Legislature, did' his Majesty punish those who insulted and obstructed him in the ex• excise of his' Royal fundion I—No.—He sent the case_intoa Court of Law, and the party had a Trial lay Jury. But now, by.analogy, comehoi. 4 7 or the Speaker's warrant was rnade eqtial to the King'S writagainst an offender ; as if the Speaker's wi4 equalled the Crown, and the M dCti mere equal to the ROyal - S6eptre. He aPpllutled the conduct .it Sir krancis Burdett through.iut this proceediti It had been said by Sir .Robert Walpole, " give -t • people the power -of blood-Lblood they wili have; 4.olibt l Lord Chatham parodied by s'aying, h ive Minister the power 'of corruption—cbmiption they will havt_•," As to corruption being applied to Mmisteri, was needless for him to say a w ord, and for blo id, they. had ,the power of obtainibi blond, and • blood they haVe exhorted the-meeting to,be mo derate and ,firm, and the people Would ultimately triumph. '.The Rev. Mr. DRAPER said, that although the citizens of 'Westminster had been deprivod of their Representative, yet, the beeholders of Middlesex were in. a worse state, for they had a Representative who opposed them---"a Representative who h,id de= dared he would.coutinue to oppose them—who had broken the bond -between the Representative and the Constituents. There were more modes than one 'of showing independence. Mr. Mellish had shewn a method of his own—an independence .of his Constituents. As to Parliamentary Reform, he was a - friend to . a perfect one ; nothing of half measures. , It had been said, that those_ who pay .the reckoning ought to controul the,acconnt. Now he thought, that not only those who pay the Whole, but those who pay a part of the account, ought 'to have a share -in the controul.. He-concluded with a quotation from scripture, part of which the. Meet ing had ottrt heard, and Fart they .had not the text was " Honour the .King ;" but the rest of the text was, " Honour all Men." Mr. WAITHMAN entered into a comparison of the present law with those in ate time of Wilkes. Then the liberties of the s'ubjea were not attacked by the Speaker's-Warrant, but the Warrant of the Secretary State. Though there were shades in the 'charaCterof that patriot which mrpt be condemned, yet if the illegal execution of such a warrant had not been stopped, that assembly, would not now hare dared to meet. He ohserved on Mr. Mellish's in dependence of his constituents ; and noticed the 'sentiments of Mr. Byng, • who had said, that he would do nothing unless ihe people came forward. Thus even be (Mr. 'B.)- would not do his duty, 'un less called upon to do it. Which of these learned Doetors' prescriptions . were we to'ttke—that of him who sap; vpu must do every thing yourselves ; or of him who tells you plainly, he will not ail for you at all, always for liimselt ?' Mr Waithrnan then descanted in his usual - style, upon the conduct of public men, whom he denominated in general terms as culprits, and introduced a variety of topics illus trative of his, position. From these he adverted to what had been Said . by Mr. Mellish. He did not see that he bad more understanding, nor that he pos sessed a greater portion of integrity than all his Cow. stituents together; -or that his private-interests were more ia:portant,tt►an those of his Constituents : and yet Mr. Mellish had declared that he would only pursue leis Own, whenever he had to vote in .the Howe of Commons. This was doctrine not to be tolerated. , He advised the Meeting Au' proceed with firmness iii the cause be Reformation. Mr. r .../LAY'FON jENNlNGS ' approyed of the conduEt of Mr. Byngi and censured, severely the conduct of sm.; 0,611. y with Ole con duct of Ministers, whom he thought were the ridi cule of-all Europe; the hest Minis:ers however, in the world for—our enemy We m .Sh.Ould aile l ress the King to dissolve Parliament. He was so much dis satisfied with the conduct of Mr. Mellish, .that he thought they ought to pass a vote of ceniur&apon him. • On the Resolution that the Petition should be pre sented by Mr: Byng arid Mr. Mellish, there were loud cries or -" Byng, Byng No Mellish:: Mr. CLIFPOR'D recommended that the name of Mr. Mellish should tie left in, to see whether_ he ' would venture to act in opposition to the numerous sense of so full a meeting of his constituents. on this recommendation the Resolution was carried.] Major CARTNRIGIIT then came forward and read' along address, which he recommended to be adopted as the Address of the - Freeholders of Middlesex to Sir Francis Burdett. The,cornmencement of it was a disquisition, at considerable length, on the idea which this Gentleman has- so frequently recom.; mended ) of restoring the poise comitaius to the rank it formerly held before the introduction Of standing armies. The latter part was an animated Address of Thanks to Sir Francis Burdett, for the noble stand he had made in defence of, the Constitution And, the ancient laws of the country. The Address was seconded by Mr. Hare Town send, and agreed to without opposition. A •'call having been generally made for a -me of censure against Mr Mellish, ' • • Mr. CLIFFORD said, that he did not wish to cen sure, but he thought it would be just as well to t a k e no manner of notice of this man,who professed him self to be independent of his constituents, He should move the thanks of the county to George By ng-„ Esq. for ;l is general conclud in Parliament. . _ Mr. BENTLEY said, thirt he was sure that an ex pression which had fallen from Mr. Byng; had been mistaken.. He was convinced that hp never had meant to say that Ire would not support the, cause of Reform in Parliament, unless particularly called on by the People. Mr. WAITHMAN, in explanation, declared that he had not- understood it so, or commented on the ex pression in that view. Mr. Byng had been always the steady friend of Reform, and had openly pro— fessed his readiness at all times to support it with his best efforts. His observations were . direaed to an other class of Members of Parliament; 'wh9-sheltered themselves under this excuse. from doing aly thing, or pledging themselves to any effort in the cause of Parliamentary Reform. The vote Of Thanks to Mr. Byng was then passed unanimously. Mr. BYNG, in returning thanks, declared that he never meant..to Say that he had been restrained from any efforts in,his power by such a consideration. He only pointed out the necessity of, the people speak ing plainly their sentiments, because he thought that such in expression of- their opinions would influence many other, Metnbers, who were in their hearts perfectly disposed. to assist the cause of the people. :Mr. CLIFFORD then pro - )osed 'a, vote of thanks to t: eir worthy Sheriffs, whom, he stated to have shewn every pos.;i:ble dtpo.sition to meet the viishes of tt, EV.?.cturs, in cdiriii?, thiil.l.lortma.

GUILDIIALL.-Yesterday .a lighterman, named Warner, underwent a:second examination before the • Sitting Alderman, charged with stealing 120 drAls frotwthe timber-wharf of Messrs.

It appeared from the -evid::nce that the dealsremained,in a log-boat moored 'to the , prosecutor's premises, on Sunday night last. threeo'cloCk the next morning ,t boat with d e al, was taken to Garraway's Wharf, in Earl-street, Black 'friars. The prisoner, Wa; tier, applied at the sa-, e time to a servant belonging to the premises to Un load the boat as soon as possible,: and he said he would pay the wharfage. 'The deals were aceo.- ingly landed, and soon after were discoveei .o be • the property of the proSecut. , iS. The , servant at Garraway's Wharf went with a Clerk from M Clia.:'field and Co.'s to the prisoner's residence in Tooley-street, where he was taken in.() custody, and conveyed to Union Hall. When the pris , n r was examined, he told .the, M! gistrate ih.tt i e I , a d been employed to fetch the deals :froth I n by a person in Thames-street ; and prctioui to 'his • examination. he had refused to tell the name i f his employer: The offence was not committed. ithin the jurisdiEtion of the' Magistrates at Um. . and the pri .oner was therefore sent to the Nngistia:e in the City of London. - Mr. Sweet, a Soli. our, at tended in support of the prosecution, and Mr. Humphries for the prisoner.
